he paupers that are made such by the traffic

the paupers that are made such by the traffic
they do not receive any benefit whatever
from the saloon taxes, which are all paid into
treasures of the municipal corporations in
which they are located.
Laying aside entirely the moral, or rather
immoral, aspect of the question, the farmers
of Michigan should be and would be opposed
to the present system as a matter of dollars
and cents. They have to stand the additional
taxation imposed upon them as the direct
result of the saloon business and do not
receive dollars benefit therefrom.
But let US suppose it were true that the
saloon taxes went into the general fund of
the county and were applied to general pur-
poses. In such case, persons who do not
patronize the saloon might receive some
benefit from the revenue, if il were not for
the fact that taxation is increased by the
traffic to far greater extent than the amount
received from the business.
But even then the saloons themselves
would not, as they do not now, pay this
tax. 1t is clear case of taxation of the
consumer, and the revenue is not derived
from those who are engaged in the business
of manufacturing and selling intoxicating
liquors, but from those who consume them.
No one believes that the profits of the manu-
facturer and dealer are materially lessened
by the various taxes that are imposed by the
state and general government; these taxes
are all made up, and more too perhaps, by
the additional price that is charged the con-
sumner. They are derived from money that
should be spent in the support of families,
instead of for that which not only does no
good, but which ruins manhood, destroys
works evil and only evil.
Conceding for the sake of the argument,
although it is not true as a matter of fact,
that tie taxes, even of the minority of the
people of the who live within the limits of
incorporated cities and villages, are dimin-
ished by the money paid into their treasures by
the distilleries, breweries and saloons of the
state, would any honorable, conscientious,
thinking man desire to reap such pecuniary
benefit at such fearful cost? Would he de-
sire to have his taxes diminished by the
breaking up of happy homes, 10y the physi-
cal and moral ruin of his fellow beings, by
traffic that causes so much misery in the
world? Would he be willing for such tri-
fling gain to become an accomplish in bus
iness that causes so many bitter tears and so
there is no good, financial or otherwise,
growing out of the traffic. The universal
watchword ought TO be, 1.-The saloons must

AN esteemed contemporary published al
the capital, one that claims to know good
many things and that ought to be thoroughly
posted on state affairs, says that the election
of CAMPBELL and Lone, which seems to be
inevitable, will evenly divide the supreme
court between the republicans and democrats.
If an Q. c. means that such election will
give the people an equal numerical division
of the court, it is "away OFF," If it means
that the court will be equally divided in point
of ability, it is not so far out of the way.
We are quite willing to concede that Messrs
CAMPBELL and LONG possess fully as much
ability as the other three members of the
court, Messrs. CHAMPLIN, SHERWOOD and
MORSE.

The Free Press says. Processing, for the
sake of retaining the German vote, that it is
not i'll favor of prohibition, the republican
party has been caught trafiicking with the
prohibitionists for their support The
above quotation contains about as much I'M
truth as could well be compressed into so
short a paragraph. The republican party
never professed to be either in favor of or
against prohibition, and the Free Press
knows it. The republican party has not
been trafiicking with prohibtionists for their
support and the Free Press knows it. The
Free Press loses no opportunity TO misrep-
resent the republican party, and is equally
ready to give partisan coloring to the
amendment question, hoping thereby TO
deprive il of democratic votes that would
otherwise be cast in its favor. But the voters
of Michigan are too intelligent to be thus
influenced and led astray. They realize that
the ratification or non-ratifcation of the
amendment is entirely outside of partisan
politics. The amendment will receive q
hearty support from democrats as well as
from voters of all other parties, the efforts

A COMMITTEE was appointed at the recent

A COMMITTEE was appointed at the recent
grand army state encampment to visit the
Soldiers Home. The committee performed
its duty and reported that the home was
admirably managed and that the inmates
were well satisfied with their treatment; the
only thing of which complaint was made was
that no provision was made for old soldiers
wives, as there certainly ought to be. The
report was adopted by the encampment, and
the great cry that has been raised about the
mismanagement of the home ought to be
stopped. Old soldiers, at least, know very
well that their comrades would not make a
false report in reference to this matter.

LAST week nearly all the democratic papers
of the state were ornaInented with portrait
of candidate CANT, democratic nominee for
the long term justiceship of the supreme

indication that Candidate CAMP is looking

The recent democratic judicial convention

ward strikers and bummers and, with per-

contemptuously rejected. One candidate
charges openly and boldly that he was count

the democratic and republican conventions.

II is matter for congratulation that the
one great question before the voters of Mich
igan-the most important one that they have
ever been called upon to decide-is one on
which members of all political parties can
heartily unite. The prohibition amendment
is matter of politics in the highest and
purest sense of the word, but it is not a mat
ter of craftsmanship. All good citizens should
stand shoulder to shoulder in favor of its
ratification.

sure to bring down prices again as
they do it. The market is made to

there is level headed view to take
of the matter, and every farmer
ought to see that he takes it. The
Breeders Gazette gives sound views
and sounder advice when it says
that the farmer who goes into hog

necessarily incur corresponding
